Again, Nope!

First, the library does not appear in libs under the Application Manager.

Second, if I try apt-get in the xterm, here's what I get as a result:

Nokia-N800-39:~# apt-get install libffi4
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package libffi4 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libffi4 has no installation candidate

It's possible my sources.list file is not set up correctly. Where did you get the libffi4?

Perhaps something went wrong with my install. I can't use the MicroB browser either.

Anyway...I'm still looking for a libffi4
